Roll the dough from the center outward. Be gentle and patient, it'll take a little time to get the dough completely rolled out.

Roll

If you think the bottom is really sticking to the surface below, use a nice, sharp spatula to loosen the dough and sprinkle some extra flour on top. Then flip it over to finish rolling. Remember to roll from the center in single, outward strokes, no back-and-forth rolling.

Crust

Bake until the filling is golden and bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes. If the crust appears to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil for the remaining baking time.

Recommended wine: Prosecco, Moscato Dasti, Late Harvest Riesling

Prosecco, Moscato d'Asti, and Late Harvest Riesling are my top picks for Apple Pie. These dessert wines have the right amount of sweetness and light, fruity flavors that won't overpower apple pie. The Bellafina Prosecco with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 10 dollars per bottle.

Bellafina Prosecco

Intensely aromatic and crisp on the palate, with aromas and flavorsof yellow apple, white peach, pear and notes of white flowers.Excellent as an aperitif, it is a perfect accompaniment to hors-d'oeuvres and delicate first courses. Also wonderful with fish and shellfish.
